[hibernate-dev] intermittent NPE during an AS7 testsuite run (with Hibernate 4.0.0.Beta1)

[Scott Marlow]

I'm not sure if we will see this NPE again but found the location 
interesting.  I wanted to report the failure in case it happens again in 
the future or anyone else is interested in playing detective for 
mysteries like this. ;)

The exception call stack is here http://pastie.org/2104060

It looks to me like AbstractServiceRegistryImpl.serviceBindingMap is 
null for some reason.  It makes me wonder if 
AbstractServiceRegistryImpl.destroy() was called prematurely for some 
reason (for some unexpected reason).

I wanted to mention the NPE here in case it happens again, so we can see 
what is in common with this one.  Next time, we will have to capture the 
AS server.log output which might have additional clues but didn't this time.
